In 2015, the Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries of Barangay La Union, Cabadbaran City, turned hardship into hope by organizing the Maong Agrarian Reform Farmers Cooperative (MAFCO) under the inspiring leadership of Ms. Liza C. Parativo.

From humble beginnings and limited capital, MAFCO has grown into a thriving cooperative with 123 dedicated members, successfully engaging in lending, merchandising, hog raising, and buffalo dairy milk production—a testament to the perseverance and unity of its members. This progress was made possible through the continued support of the Department of Agrarian Reform–Agusan del Norte.

At the core of MAFCO’s success lies a powerful truth: women are catalysts of transformation.
As leaders, nurturers, and changemakers, they uplift families, empower communities, and lay the foundation for sustainable growth.

MAFCO stands as a shining example that when women take the lead, progress flourishes—and with it, the promise of a stronger, more resilient rural community.

For most of his life, Antonio P. Rosales, 68, endured poverty and hardship. With only an elementary education, he worked as a coconut climber earning ₱280 a month, later trying gold panning just to feed his wife and six children.

In 1991, Antonio began tilling a parcel of government-foreclosed land in Barangay Del Pilar. He planted coconut, falcata, banana, and vegetables—providing food and income, but without the security of ownership.

That dream of security came true through Department of Agrarian Refom-Agusan del Norte. In 2015, he was recognized as the actual tiller of the land. And on August 14, 2025, after decades of waiting, Antonio finally received his individual land title for 4,596 square meters.

“This is the moment I have been waiting for all my life,” Antonio said. “At last, I can look forward to a secure and brighter future for my family.”

Today, his coconut and falcata farm sustains his family, but his greatest pride is his six children—one already a college graduate, the others still studying.

“My only wish is for my children to finish schooling. I don’t want them to be like me, someone who only knows how to write his name.”

Through hard work and DAR’s support, Antonio’s lifelong struggle bore fruit: land, dignity, and hope for the next generation.
